Based out of the city in Montreal, The Montreal Juniors Rugby Club was created for young athletes to continue their training into the winter/spring months before their academic seasons start to shake the rust off!

Focusing on youth players ages between 15-19 years old, the MJRC focus on international coaching approaches to offer something new and fresh to all to ultimately make young athletes better rugby players.
